Description
Docker has official 'slim' runtimes for a number of programming languages, e.g. python:slim and ruby:slim. It might be useful to provide a similar thing for R also based on debian:buster-slim.
Similarly a distribution based on alpine linux might be useful to the community, as using alpine is pretty popular due to its small size.
